    Is there any way in MFP to track daily steps from your pedometer? Have searched exercise for
    steps, pedometer, track steps - nothing.....
    Thank you!

      Yes there is- but I can't remember how. I'm sure someone here will know though.

      Try this.

      Step 1

      10,000 steps are equal to 5 miles, 1 mile is equal to 2,000 steps.

      Step 2

      Calculate how many calories you burn with each step. A one mile walk burns 100 calories. According to the Universsity of Nebraska, Lincoln. Since one mile is equal to 2,000 steps, you can calculate the amount of calories burned for each step using the formula: 100/2,000=.05.

      Step 3

      Calculate how many calories you burn in a day. Use the number of steps you've taken during the day and multiply it by .05. For example, if you've walked 3,300 steps in a day, the calulation is as follows: 3,300 x .05 = 165 calories

      Hope this helps :smile:

      It can be done. You set it up as something else to be tracked. Can't remember how I did it though. Ill try to remember later.

      Found it. Go to 'My Hime', then 'check in' then the small blue link saying ' track additional measurement'.

      You can also go to 'My Home' LOL:laugh:

      From there you can add the additional measurement.

      Some other programs and equipment can and will add it automatically. I have a Fitbit which does that.
